Chromosome Biology: The Sight of DNA, at Last!

Curr Biol. 2018 Jan 22;28(2):R77-R79. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2017.11.066.

Abstract

Chromosomes are shaped by the combined function of the condensin and cohesin Smc-kleisin complexes. After more than two decades of research in this field, a new study finally sheds light on how these machines might interact with their DNA substrates.
